1974, 15′, colour

The work submitted was made in a series on the assumption of the viewers taking parts. The first person performs some vague action, and the next person watches a recorded tape only once and does the same action from his memory. The third person watches the second person’s tape and so on. As lapses are repeated, the action develops in outrageous directions.
